I`m logged into the store and Lego Batman 3 is still showing at full price for me

*Edit* Working now.

[Revival]

I hope more people pick up Killer Instinct at that price, Ridiculously fun game and a massive amount of content in it.

[Super Craig]

Finally bought Ori. Cheers for the heads up.

[Don Wiskerando]

I've picked up The Telltale Collection. I've only previously played S1 of The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us.

I abandoned TWAU because the loading times absolutely killed the atmosphere stone-dead for me. Any idea if it's any better on the One.

[bradigor]

You can get Far Cry 4 Gold Edition from the Colombian store for £14.14

FINE. I bought it, it better be good.

Also, you can tell my wife, we're supposed to be saving.

I was hoping Dark Souls 2 would be on there.

This could potentially be a sale with different daily or weekend deals - Might be worth keeping an eye on!

[Yoshimax]

FYI anybody considering it Scrabble is absolutely awful. It even has memory leaks, online is just people consulting dictionaries on their laptop (although there's a speed game). Avoid.

[MattyP]

I'm back in the Xbox one gang. Could someone send me an invite to the preview club? Someone sent me one last year, but the message vanished after a short time. I'll try to accept this next one in a more timely fashion.

Me too as of Saturday! Got FH2 withdrawal symptoms that and the backwards compatibility. Not only that. Gears of war, Forza 6, Crackdown 3... Bring it on. Oh and I also have all my games on live I didn't complete.

Starting to wonder why I sold mine back in January to be honest.... Although I did buy a spangly graphics card for the PC with the proceeds. Think it was the thought of not playing a new Forza in October that really swayed it though. Never not played one on release. Need my Forza love... LOL...

[SnoopZakaDaVe]

i went for far cry in the sale in the end, gonna hold off lego as i tend to play them a handful of times then never again

[metallicfrodo]

What's the current recommendation for an external HDD. Also in general are people getting externally powered ones?

[SnoopZakaDaVe]

Just did the bit in Ori where you rekindle the tree's water spirit or something. The resulting escape sequence was by far the best and gamiest thing I've experienced on my Xbone to date

yeah that moment was really sweet, not as hard as i thought it was going to be, sure it took about 10 or so retries but i was expecting an hour of rage from what i heard about it really lovely game. played it for about 4-5 hours in my first session, and it may sound silly but i am sort of holding off playing it again at the moment as i dont want to experience it all too soon!

[metallicfrodo]

Thanks Krypt, ordered, now I can buy those games in the sale that I like the look of and will never play because of Destiny!

[Kryptonian]

That's what I did!

[Radish]

For those interested in Ori, it's currently £3.74 on Steam. I wouldn't normally post a PC sale here for obvious reasons but it's surprisingly cheap so I figured it's worth mentioning in case it saves someone £9.

Edit: And it's back to £14.99.

Roughly how many attempts did it take you?

I took a ridiculous amount of attempts, but then came back to it the next day and finished it in just a few.

That music

[HarryBizzle]

No Sunset Overdrive in the sale.

Would probably be a crap discount anyway, looking at those prices.

[The Mighty Ash]

It was on sale in June.

[MikeBeaver]

You should be able to get it on disc for between £15 and £20 off Amazon or the bay if you keep a look out, surprised it is not in the sale again though, although it was only a month or so since it last was, bound to be again at some point.

[HarryBizzle]

I want to pay a decent price for it (~£20) but I want to buy it new because I like Insomniac and I want to support them. Loads of places are out of stock though, or they've jacked their prices up. Annoying.

How long was it at that price? Bit annoying as my PC can easily run it.

Yeah, was one of the first games I checked. Still ridiculously priced. I'll probably get it from Game in the buy one get 1 half price, though dunno what other game I'd get.

I got Titanfall for £9.60. Cant really go wrong with that.

[MattyP]

Just ordered a Kinect for my one. Picked it up for £35 I know its probably a dead piece of hardware now but want to have a tinker with it and actually speaking to your console is quite fun when I'm feeling lazy and great for skyping work for meetings when I'm working from home. From what I've read its an improvement over the first one, needing a bit less space. I actually liked the first Kinect.

[Transient Curse]

Possible, I just checked the list posted on MajorNelson.com and the "over 70 games on sale" seems to have been met when you count the 360 titles so I won't hold my breath.

I'm certain it'll go on sale the day after my resolve weakens.

[Jg15]

My Kinect is purely used for voice commands, especially good old "record that".

Its so slow in signing me in these days that I find myself manually doing it everytime. It never used to be that bad though so I don't know what's happened to slow it down so much.

[T Pot]

I hope they have daily or something, otherwise the sale is generally just a bit shit. You can get many of the games cheaper, on disk than some of the stuff with discount.

50% off Diablo, yet it's still £30. Hahaha fuck off.

[Transient Curse]

You can set your system to auto sign you in, I've got mine set like that now.

Edit: in reply to JG15.

Cool, I might do that as the manual sign in is a pain and I'm the only user in the house anyway.
